We decided to hold a Power down, layer up day in November as our attempt last year wasn't as successful due to a warm spell!
We spoke to the whole school on Monday during assembly about what we were doing and why - explaining about wasting heat by leaving doors and windows open during the day too.
Some parents were very concerned about the school turning the heat down low as Friday was forecast to be very cold and so we decided to reduce the heat by a couple of degrees and focus on keeping the heat we were paying for, inside the school. We found that with a few reminders (and posters on doors to catch people's eyes), doors were kept closed more during the day - especially at breaktimes.
Next week, we will look at the gas data to look at the impact of reducing our heating a bit.
